Almost every partner I have had (including my wife) where duration of relationship exceeded two months, I met IRL by pure chance.
Online? Pretty much only ever resulted in a couple of dates with the person, or a one and done hookup.
Its anecdotal, and friends have had the opposite experience, so I can't draw much of a conclusion from it besides that I was not suited to online dating.

Your experience mirrors mine. My wife and my last serious relationship before - both IRL chance encounter or created through pre-existing friend connections. Some meaningful relationship-ish connections through online dating.
